The Weepies - How You Survived The War
Note: I was a little stumped by the "You give up like every time before" line so
I tried my best and heard a Dadd9
but I could be horribly wrong. Anyways enjoy this beyond awesome song!!!
Intro: (keyboard fades in on Asus)
Dsus2 Asus4 Dsus2/G Asus4 x2
Verse:
Dsus2 Asus4 Dsus2/G Asus4
You never change your mind once it's made up
Dsus2 Dsus/G Asus4 Asus/C#
Unless it's to crawl back on your knees
Chorus:
Dsus2/G Asus4
Is that the way you want it?
Dsus2 Asus4
You get back to the wall
Dsus2/G
And put your hands up
Asus4
It's a holdup
Dsus2 Dadd9 Asus4
You give up like every time before
Dsus2/G Asus4 Dsus2
That is how you survived the war
Interlude: Dadd9 Dsus2/G Asus4 Asus4 x2
Verse(same progression):
You never multiply, all these divisions
You give yourself the least of parts
I put on my green felt hat, pack our privisions
Playing a merry Prince of Thieves
Chorus(same progression):
Is that the way you want it?
You get back to the wall
And put your hands up
It's a holdup
You give up like every time before
That is how you survived the war
Interlude: Dadd9 Dsus2/G Asus4 Asus4 x2 (kind of hold out I think on Asus4 as you
go into the next part)
Bridge:
Dadd9 Dsus2/G Asus4 Asus2
You're not gonna lose this one
Dadd9 Dsus2/G Asus4 Asus2
You don't have to cut and run
Dadd9 Dsus2/G Asus4 Asus2
I think you can choose to love and what is more
Dsus2/G Asus4 Dsus2
That is how you survived the war
Verse:
Now in a summer's day, spring a ripened plum
How will you live under the sun?
You follow the open road, remembering the guns
When you get lost under the trees
Chorus:
Is that the way you want it?
You get back to the wall
And put your hands up
It's a holdup
You give up like every time before
That is how you survived the war
Dsus2/G Asus4 Dsus2
That is how you survived the war
Dsus2 Asus4 Dsus2/G Asus4
You never change your mind once it's made up
End on Dsus2
